It is a man's shrine to the young woman that essentially left him at the alter.Strolling through the castle, I noticed numerous stone representations of planets, moons, and suns, many -- perhaps all -- of them deliberately aligned with various sky phenomena, as were the 25 huge chairs carefully positioned throughout the precinct.

My in-laws came to visit and we had just seen a special on Coral Castle so we decided to go and visit this unique piece of work. There is something in this structure that will appeal to anyone visiting.

Drove over 2 hours with gfs to this "historic site" that you could walk through in 5-10 minutes. Disappointed as it looks a LOT larger on their website!
